Predict the Jazz starting lineup

Where did you hear this? Link?

I don't believe there was ever a report that Corbin flat out said this, but I do recall hearing that Ty asked Paul to slim down and work on his ball-handling, which would suggest he'd like to play him a lot more at the 3.

Harris/Watson
Bell/Hayward
Millsap/Miles/Evans
Jefferson/Favors
Okur/Kanter

I think Ty will use Millsap the way he did at the end of last year spot starts against certain match ups, but in most games Millsap will start at pf and play some backup minutes at sf to give Favors more minutes in games where Millsap starts at pf.

"Open to playing power and small forward: [Paul Millsap said] 'Just wherever coach put me. I think I'm versatile enough to get out there and start at the 3, but still heavy and strong enough to get down there and bang with the big guys.'"

Harris
Miles
Hayward
Millsap
Jefferson

As Locke has pointed out numerous times a Millsap/Jefferson is a terrible front court. It's horrible defensively. Corbin should be fired if there is a Millsap/Jefferson starting front court.

Harris/Watson (or new FA)
Hayward/Bell/Burks
Miles/Millsap/Hayward

Locke is following the experts, and the experts aren't wrong that Sap/Al was a bad defensive front court last season. But I will reiterate what I've said before -- we were a bad defensive TEAM last year. One of the worst I saw. If there is one thing Jerry was not good at, it was implementing a system. He believed in fundamentals. If we play team defense the way teams like the Bulls and Celtics do, the problems of Al and Sap in the frontcourt will be minimized. Not erased, because they're not the ideal defenders at the 4 and 5, but they will look miraculously better if the whole team is buying in for 24 to a team concept.

Favors has too much defense and rebounding to not put in the starting lineup. He basically anchors the defense when he's in the game.
If AK doesn't come back, that pretty much gives the starting SF spot to Miles unless Millsap somehow beats him out at the start of the year.
Hayward was already starting ahead of Bell by the end of the year. No reason why that wouldn't continue.
